1UP - Common ground between a sequel and a prequel.
This gen the only good JRPG's I played were:
# Tales of Vesperia
# Lost Odyssey
# Eternal Sonata
# Dark Souls
# Disgaea
And the Only epic one I played is:
# Valkyria Chronicles.
*I dont consider Xenoblade as current gen
This gen is like a drought when it comes to console JRPG's compared to previous ones
Sorry but LR: FFXIII wont redeem FNC, it doesnt matter if its good or bad, why? Because none of these games are worth of the FF name.
Lightning Returns...no thanks the only RPG for me so far is Ni no Kuni
The more they move to action-based combat, to pander to the current FPS generation, the further I move away from the series.
The first RPG I ever played, was the very first Final Fantasy. I cannot buy Lightning Returns, because I cannot support the current direction of the series.
crisis core is one of my favorite games this gen. it was the first game i played in the FF7 universe. i still want to play derge of Cerberus(i know i spelled that wrong), i was disappointed to find out it was the last in the FF7 universe, simply because of the cliff hanger ending(i couldnt resist so saw it :3)
anyway, cant wait for ni no kuni. itll be the last game i buy till i make a huge dent in my backlog.

Lists and tables
Use lists and tables to display items that users can highlight and open. If the list is long, items are fetched and displayed in batches. When users reach the last item in the list, the next batch of items displays at the end of the list.
Use a simple list to easily display text in rows.
Use a rich list to easily display rows of text and icons. If you want to present items in columns and rows, use a table.
You can group items under headers to help users navigate through long lists. For example, you can create headers that collapse, making it easier for users to find items in the list. You can group items under headers that always appear at the top of the list. For example, you can add a date as a header and group messages received on that date under the header. Users can highlight a header to perform an action on the group of items or they can use shortcut keys to move through the list.
Users can perform the following actions in lists and tables:
User goal
Action using the navigation keys
Action using a touch screen
Action using a physical keyboard
Scroll through items in the list.
Move a finger vertically on the trackpad.
Highlight an item in the list.
Move a finger vertically on the trackpad.
Touch the item lightly.
Open an item in the list.
Click the trackpad.
Tap the item.
Press the Enter key.
Best practice: Implementing lists and tables
- If the list is long and you want to display the items on separate screens, include Next and Previous buttons at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, if the list is very long (for example, thousands of items), provide screen numbers instead.
- If you expect users to move through the items in the list (for example, in a message list or a feed), assign shortcut keys for moving to the next or previous item in the list. Where possible, in English, allow users to press "N" to move to the next item in the list and "P" to move to the previous item in the list.

Oil rig explosion unmasks 'dangerous myth' of safety, lawmakers say
The Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion comes three weeks after the Obama administration proposed opening up parts of the Gulf for deepwater exploration. Two Democratic senators are raising broader safety concerns.
US Coast Guard/Reuters
Oil rig relief crews on Friday successfully plugged a deepwater well that was pumping 7,400 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico's 5,000-foot-deep Mississippi Canyon. But some US lawmakers are now posing tough questions about the violent three-day deep-sea drama that played out on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig 41 miles off Louisiana.
Indeed, the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon and the ensuing spill remains troubling for a nation getting ready to expand deepwater oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico and off the Eastern seaboard. Global oil exploration by companies like Transocean and BP, which operated the exploded rig, is focused on advanced rigs like the Deepwater Horizon, which are called upon to tap reserves of gas and oil situated ever deeper and farther out to sea.
"Big Oil has perpetuated a dangerous myth that coastline drilling is a completely safe endeavor, but accidents like this are a sober reminder just how far that is from the truth," said Democratic Sens. Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg in a statement.
IN PICTURES: Louisiana oil rig explosion
The White House said Friday that President Obama has no plans to reconsider the offshore oil drilling proposal after the Deepwater Horizon accident, reports the Washington Post.
After warning about a wellhead flow of 7,400 barrels a day beneath the Deepwater Horizon, the Coast Guard on Friday said there is now no evidence of leaking oil. An industry source suggested to the oil and gas industry newspaper Upstream that a remote-controlled submarine may have been able to activate an emergency shearing ram that stopped the flow.
The $600 million fifth-generation Deepwater Horizon rig had been in the process of capping an exploratory well above the Macondo deposit when an abnormal buildup of pressure probably caused a "blowout" – the oil from which fueled a violent fire that raged for 36 hours before the rig finally exploded again and sank Thursday morning. Eleven crew members are missing and are now believed to have perished in the immediate blast.
To be sure, the orderly actions of crew members in getting off the blown rig, the immediate and dogged rescue efforts for the 11 missing crew, and a small armada of federal and private spill response teams evidenced a well-coordinated relief effort. Yet the disaster will undoubtedly provide political fuel for opponents of more oil exploration.
"This could present a bump in the road to Obama's plan to open up more of the US coastline, but I can't believe that it would derail it permanently," says Tyler Priest, an oil exploration historian at the University of Houston. "My view is that this would be an aberration to a very long record of environmentally safe and human safe operations that the industry has established since 1970" in response to the kinds of accidents that helped spawn the US environmental movement.
Still, the US Minerals Management Service says that, since 2001, 858 fires and explosions have broken out on oil and gas industry facilities in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in the loss of 55 lives.
"This underscores that this remains a hazardous occupation and that as oil gets harder to find and we move to more remote regions, the degree of difficulty rises," says Mark Zupan, an energy expert at the University of Rochester's Simon Graduate School of Business in New York. "But we also have to stay focused on the bigger picture and how many lives don't get fulfilled if we restrict energy production."
On Friday, the Coast Guard and BP contractors worked to cordon off and neutralize a spill that's been described as four times the size of Manhattan Island. It's a coagulated mix of crude oil and diesel that could threaten the Louisiana coastline if winds shift.
"It's going to be a ... mess for a while," Louisiana State University environmental sciences professor Ed Overton told the Associated Press. "I'm not crying doomsday or saying the sky is falling, but that is the potential."
Sen. Bill Nelson (D) of Florida notes in a statement: "As a part of the effort to expand drilling, the oil industry as recently as Tuesday was pressing the government agency responsible for leasing offshore lands to quickly proceed with a study of the effects of surveying for oil off the Atlantic coast. That came just hours before the Tuesday night explosion."

"Frozen River," the Sundance-launched dramatic thriller set on the U.S.-Canada border, won two of the six prizes at Tuesday's Gotham Independent Film Awards.
The IFP's 18th annual Gothams, hosted by "The Daily Show" correspondent Aasif Mandvi at Cipriani Wall Street, recognized the pic as best feature and star Melissa Leo as breakthrough actor.
Acquired by Sony Classics after it screened in Sundance, "Frozen River" has become that rare thing in the 2008 indie/specialty world: a grassroots hit.
Like "The Visitor," which was also nommed for best feature at the Gothams, "Frozen River" benefited from coming out before the fourth-quarter prestige crush with a lot of fest buzz to get it started commercially. Released Aug. 1, the pic has cumed $2.3 million in the U.S.
"Synecdoche, New York," which lost out to "Frozen River" in the best feature category, won for ensemble performance. "Ballast" helmer Lance Hammer won the breakthrough director prize, and Zeitgeist Films' "Trouble the Water" won for documentary.
The "Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You" honor and a $15,000 cash prize went to fest fave "Sita Sings the Blues."
Tribute awards were given to Penelope Cruz, filmmakers Gus Van Sant and Melvin Van Peebles, and HBO doc maven Sheila Nevins.
The Gothams have no technical connection with the Spirit Awards given out by estranged sibling org Film Independent. The Spirit noms, honoring many of the same films, were announced earlier Tuesday.
A roster of 18 critics, journos and programmers picked the 22 films nommed in the six categories. The "Not Playing at a Theater Near You" trophy was decided by the editors of IFP's Filmmaker magazine and a curator from the Museum of Modern Art.

New York City is rich in history and cultural dynamism and sets
the benchmark throughout the world for fashion, arts and industry.
No place else is quite like New York City, a surprisingly small
island measuring a total area of just 23.7 square miles, a length
of 13.4 miles, a width of 2.3 miles at its widest, and barely a
mile at its narrowest point. Yet what it lacks in geographical stature,
it makes up for in population density and tourism.
New York City is America's largest city. Home to more than eight
million residents, and the destination of more than 40 million visitors
annually, New York is a city of world-class arts and culture, cutting-edge
entertainment, trend-setting fashion, and first-rate accommodations.
The city plays host to some of the world's premier events, including
the U.S. Open, the perennial Times Square New Year's Eve celebration
and the popular parades for Thanksgiving and St. Patrick's Day.
New York's historical timeline is itself a history lesson in pride
and progress. From developing one of the best public transportations
systems in the nation, to the creation of the Pennsylvania and Grand
Central Stations, the world-famous hubs that help connect the city
with commuters and countless new arrivals, it's a city always on
the go. From Broadway to Times Square, to the "Village" and Battery
Park, Wall Street, and South Street, it's a distinguished city of
many varieties that encapsulates the entire globe, offering limitless
possibilities for visitors and residents from within its long and
narrow frame.

Fitness clubs all around the country are trying to find ways to stay profitable in this recession, and one of the ways they are doing so is through ancillary, or non-dues, revenue. Miramont Lifestyle Fitness, Fort Collins, CO, is no exception.
Miramont owner Cliff Buchholz, who took over the first of his three Miramont clubs 30 years ago and has been in the industry since he opened his first club in 1965, has seen a wide range of trends in the industry through the years. He says in the past, fitness club owners relied on shiny, new equipment to lure members into their clubs.
"I think the industry has changed the model," Buchholz says. "The days when you opened up the club and had all that equipment, I think those days are gone. I think the direction is going toward wellness and lifestyle management."
With that in mind, Buchholz is now focusing his clubs on a variety of wellness programs that produce non-dues revenue. The programs include Silver Sneakers for seniors, a weight-loss program, a healthy back program and a lifestyle nutrition program. A program for diabetes is expected to begin in the coming months, Buchholz says.
At one of the Miramont clubs, 42 percent of total revenue is non-dues revenue, Buchholz says, with the other clubs producing around 30 percent and 15 percent non-dues revenue, respectively.
"We'd like to get them all around 40 percent if we can," Buchholz says.
Many veterans of the industry, like Buchholz and Alan Schwartz, chairman of Chicago-based TCA Holdings (Midtown Athletic Clubs), are strong believers in non-dues revenue.
"Non-dues revenue programs serve a dual purpose," Schwartz says. "On the one hand, they produce a bottom line as a department of their own. But more importantly, they involve activities that form a bond and an allegiance between the member and the club. And in so doing, increase retention rates."
Joe Cirulli, owner of Gainesville (FL) Health and Fitness Centers (GHFC), says club owners can increase non-dues revenue by providing members with an experience at the club that they cannot get in other clubs. Revenue from small group training at GHFC grew to about $300,000 in 2008 from $50,000 in 2007.
Rick Beusman, president of Saw Mill Sports Management, Mount Kisco, NY, oversees four Saw Mill Clubs. Beusman says 45 to 50 percent of gross revenue at his most successful club comes from non-dues revenue. Most of the non-dues revenue comes from the club's established member base, as opposed to new members or nonmembers, he says.
In this tough economy, Beusman says Saw Mill is looking to maintain non-dues revenue rather than increase it.
"Anybody who is maintaining non-dues revenue is doing a heck of a job," Beusman says. "Increasing it would be outstanding."
Leasing space to complimentary businesses, such as a chiropractor, a massage therapist or even a nail salon, is another way clubs can increase non-dues revenue. In addition to leasing space to a nail salon, Beusman has contracted out the operation of the pro shops, snack bars and other services at his Saw Mill clubs.
"The upside is I don't need the skill sets to run a variety of businesses that I don't know well," Beusman says. "But you have to be very successful as to who you allow to be a vendor. They have to have the same dedication to customer service as you do. We are very particular about who we allow to have access to our most trusted asset — our members."
Cindy Curley, general manager of Orchard Hills Athletic Club in Lancaster, MA, says her club increased non-dues revenue by $100,000 by leasing space in her 75,000-square-foot club to complimentary businesses. One of those businesses is a physical therapy clinic, which is contracted with a local hospital.
The Dedham Health and Athletic Complex in Dedham, MA, has put as much emphasis on the "health" portion of the complex as the "athletic" portion. The club partners with a local hospital and a local diabetes center and has affiliations with other medical centers in the area.
Dedham has a 60/60 ($60 for 60 days) physician referral exercise program. The 60/60 program is for people who are sedentary or have specific health issues, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or weight management problems. The medical services at Dedham also include orthopedics, X-ray and MRI machines.
Children's programs are another way to increase non-dues revenue, several club operators say. The Weymouth Club in Weymouth, MA, put in a 12,000-square-foot kids center for children up to 15 years old. The kids center, called the Energy Center, includes rock climbing, arts and crafts and a dance studio.
Jeff Linn, the assistant executive director of The Weymouth Club, says his club has added 300 family memberships because of the Energy Center, resulting in about $265,000 in kids programming revenue. The Weymouth Club also produces about $600,000 from swim lessons and aquatics programs, Linn says.
Midtown Athletic Clubs has experienced an increase in children taking tennis lessons, Schwartz says. He says that the increase in this ancillary revenue source is a sign that members with children want their kids to enjoy the club experience as much as they do.
"When people make decisions to cut back on expenses, they form — either consciously or unconsciously — a hierarchy of priorities," Schwartz says. "The clubs' best defense against the recession's impact against attrition at any time is to involve the member in as many club activities at a significant level as possible. The more significant the involvement, the higher that item will be on the hierarchy of what is to be retained in a recessionary period — or any period."
Linn also is a proponent of marketing nonmember programming through the club's Web site, including tutoring for children, which has been successful, and pre-choreographed group exercise programming.
"We keep trying services," Linn says. "We've been aggressive in this economy."
However, at least one club operator cautioned about trying too many new non-dues programs at this time.
"I think it's a good time to stick to what you do best and not get involved in trying to develop a lot of new stuff," Cirulli says. "I believe now is the time to make sure we're doing all the basics really well."
Still, many veteran club operators agree that non-dues programs are a valuable way to keep members happy, attract nonmembers and earn additional revenue from the people who truly value the club.

Chapter Eight - The People's Country
When their two weeks in Yellowstone were over, John Burroughs and Theodore Roosevelt went their separate ways.
Burroughs went to visit friends in Washington State, where he had promised to speak at some schools before heading home to Slabsides.
For Roosevelt, there was much more traveling left, but, first, he was asked to make a speech at the north entrance to the park, where a great stone arch was being built.
He thanked the people of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho for their hospitality, of course. But he also praised them for their cooperation with the army in helping keep poachers out of the park, and in making the idea of a park work.
He told them that the government could provide funds for the park, but that making it work was up to them. "The only way that the people as a whole can secure to themselves and their children the enjoyment in perpetuity of what the Yellowstone Park has to give is by assuming the ownership in the name of the nation and by jealously safeguarding and preserving the scenery, the forests, and the wild creatures."
Roosevelt's train then left for St. Louis so the President could be present at the opening of the 1903 World's Fair, celebrating the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase.
His visit to Yellowstone with John Burroughs was over, but his efforts to make Americans more aware of the environment were not.
The trip to Yellowstone had been an important chance for the two men to visit the park, to see how it was being run, and to find out how it might be improved. They had learned much from that trip.
For instance, Roosevelt was now aware that killing cougars wouldn't help the deer and elk herds. It simply meant that more of them would starve to death. Within a few years, he would order the end of the hunting of predators in Yellowstone.
But the visit was important for another reason: Even though he had ordered reporters kept out of Yellowstone so he and Burroughs could enjoy the park in peace, there were stories about the trip in the newspapers every day. Now that the Yellowstone visit was over, the President was going to visit towns and make speeches all through the West.
Theodore Roosevelt liked to say that the presidency was "a bully pulpit," and he didn't mean "bully" in the modern sense of a mean person. Back then, it meant "wonderful," and, indeed, when the President of the United States says something, the whole country, and the whole world, listens.
As he had told the crowd at Yellowstone, it is not enough for the government to pass laws and provide money for projects. It's up to the people to make those projects work.
The purpose of this trip was to get the American people to think, and to talk to each other, about how to make the best use of our natural resources, and Roosevelt had six more weeks of making news with visits and speeches ahead of him.
His train stopped at several places along the route to St. Louis, and then headed back west. Everywhere it went, it stopped for people to come see, and hear, the President.
In Grand Island, Nebraska, he praised the success of the government's efforts to grow more trees on the open plains. "I knew, of course, that over 200,000 acres of forest land had been planted in Nebraska, but to know a thing is one thing and to see it is another," he told the people, and reminded them that Sterling Morton had founded Arbor Day in their own state.
Thanks to Arbor Day, he said, millions of children and adults were taught "the wisdom of trying to plant trees where they do not exist, and trying to preserve them for the public use where they do exist."
In Santa Fe, New Mexico, he spoke of the importance of healthy forests and good irrigation projects to create farms and cattle ranches, not just for the farmers and ranchers of 1903, but for their children and grandchildren.
Then, in the Arizona Territory, Theodore Roosevelt got his first glimpse of the Grand Canyon, which was not yet a national park. He begged the people of Arizona to protect it from the mining companies and from those who wanted to build hotels and resorts on its rim.
"Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it," Roosevelt said. "What you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and for all who come after you, as one of the great sights which every American, if he can travel at all, should see."
From there, he traveled to California, where he met with another great American conservationist, John Muir. The two men spent three days camping in the Yosemite Valley, and Roosevelt agreed to make Yosemite National Park larger, and to protect the giant redwoods from being cut down for lumber.
Then he went up the Pacific Coast to Washington State, and finally started home, stopping in Wyoming for a final cowboy adventure, riding horseback from Laramie to Cheyenne.
With two months of travel and speeches, he had done much to make Americans think about the land.
But the part of the trip that got the most attention was the two weeks spent in Yellowstone by two famous friends: One whose writing inspired people to love nature, and one whose political activities would help turn that love of nature into law.

- "It sprang to life at once; long, prickly, bramble-like vines flew out of the top and whipped through the air... Harry succeeded in trapping a couple of vines and knotting them together; a hole opened in the middle of all the tentacle-like branches... Hermione snatched her arm free, clutching in her fingers a pod... At once, the prickly vines shot back inside and the gnarled stump sat there looking like an innocently dead lump of wood"
- —The trio dealing with the Snargaluff plant in sixth year Herbology class[src]
The Snargaluff is a plant with the appearance of a gnarled stump, but hides dangerous thorn-covered vines that attack when provoked and is usually best handled by more than one person. It contains green pulsating pods about the size of a grapefruit which can be extracted. These are then broken open and the contents, which resemble pale green tubers, collected in bowls. Sixth year Herbology students learn to extract these pods. They are best when fresh.[1]
On 1 December 1926, The New York Ghost featured a game "Spot the Snargaluff" on page 16 of their Sunset Final edition.[2]
The Lovegood family had some of these plants (or, at least, stumps resembling Snargaluffs) in the garden in front of their house.
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Professor Sprout, Peeves and other students of Hogwarts used Snargaluff pods as weapons against the attacking Death Eaters.

Northeast Georgia Mountains / Young Harris
Alpaca Tierra
7062 Nichols Rd.
Young Harris, GA 30582
Young Harris, GA 30582
Alpaca Tierra was born on Sept. 12, 2006, when we purchased our first alpaca. The sweet relaxing gentle nature of these animals stole our hearts. From our covered porch, we have watched our property go from green pastures to a maze of fenced areas for our alpacas. Here, our alpacas graze and prong about, growing in size and numbers. Please call if you would like to visit our friendly farm. We welcome you!

The OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) system is a multilateral agreement which saves governments and chemical producers over EUR 150 million every year by allowing the results of a variety of safety tests done on chemicals and chemical products such as industrial chemicals and pesticides to be shared across OECD. The MAD requires that testing be carried out using OECD standards for test methods (OECD Test Guidelines) and for data quality (OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice - GLP).
Governments need to verify compliance of laboratories with GLP by using the OECD agreed procedures. OECD countries and full adherent countries - Argentina*, Brazil, India, Malaysia, South Africa and Singapore - have implemented this system via the appropriate legislative and administrative procedures.
Participation in the MAD system begins by provisional adherence, during which time non-members work with OECD countries to make their GLP compliance monitoring programme acceptable to all members. Provisional adherence to the OECD system means that the non-member must accept data from OECD countries generated under MAD conditions. After a team of experts from three OECD governments have evaluated the non-member GLP compliance monitoring programme on site, and based on the outcome of this evaluation, the OECD Council can invite the provisional adherent to become a full adherent to the Council Acts, with the same rights and obligations as OECD countries. Thailand is currently a provisional adherent to the MAD system.
Full adherents will accept data from OECD countries generated under MAD conditions. Equally, since they can ensure that their test facilities produce safety data work of comparable rigor and quality as test facilities throughout OECD, member countries will accept their data. This removes a potential non-tariff trade barrier between non-members and OECD countries for marketing chemicals that would have been caused by different standards and verification procedures. It also opens up the possibility for producers in OECD countries to have safety tests for their chemicals undertaken in adhering non-member economies.
* Note: Full adherence for Argentina only applies to industrial chemicals, pesticides and biocides

Oxfam's response to the latest garment factory fire in Dhaka, Bangladesh
In response to the latest garment factory fire in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Oxfam GB Ethical Trading Manager, Rachel Wilshaw said:
"This latest tragedy at Aswad Composite Mills underlines the urgent need to change the way these factories are built and ensure that safety is the primary day-to-day concern of those operating them. It is deplorable that the shocking loss of more than 1300 lives when Rana Plaza collapsed in April was not enough to prevent further tragedies. The Government in Bangladesh, which has the second largest garment industry in the world, has acknowledged that at least 50 percent of factories are dangerous."
Oxfam understands that several well-known brands were sourcing from the factory, despite their commitment to ethical good practice as set out in the Ethical Trading Initiative base code. They include some of the 90-plus companies which have signed up to the legally binding Accord on Building and Fire Safety in Bangladesh and those (primarily US) companies which have declined to join the Accord and set up an industry led Alliance.
Wilshaw said: "It is vital that any brands sourcing from the Aswad factory follow the higher standards negotiated within the Accord and that compensation and medical assistance to workers and their families are provided in an adequate and timely way, in conjunction with the global union IndustriALL and other Accord members."
For more information or to arrange an interview please contact Jonaid Jilani on 01865 472 193 or 07810 181 514 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Notes to Editors
Recent factories where loss of life has occurred in Bangladesh include:
- Tazreen factory, November 2012 (122 workers killed),
- Rana Plaza, April 2013 (more than 1300 workers killed),
- Smart Garments, February 2013 (9 workers killed) and
- Tung Hai, May 2013 (9 workers killed).

The Coptic Orthodox church is the largest in Egypt and the entire Middle East. It is approximately 7-10 million strong (6 -10% of the population), but since the church in Egypt is not allowed to carry out an official census, accurate figures are difficult to ascertain. The Egyptian Church faces pressures in a number of areas. The distinction between civil law and Shari'a (Islamic Law) in Egypt has been deliberately eroded over the years. Significantly, in 1980, the National Assembly accepted an amendment to the Constitution, designating Shari'a as "the...principal source of legislation" instead of "a...principle source of legislation". Although the violence of the 90s perpetrated by Islamic extremists has largely been eliminated, sporadic violence against Christians continues as a result of communal tensions. This violence has often gone unpunished by the Egyptian legal system and there seem to be no clear and consistent attempts by the authorities to prevent similar violence in the future.

Remember when I wrote about Preston's epic tantrums back in April, when he was 19 months old? And then again in August right before he turned 2, I wrote about these inner demons that seemed to be taking over his mind and body, rendering him (and me) inconsolable and slightly crazy? Sounds pretty harsh now looking back at those blogs, but I'm happy to report that Preston seems to be past his terrible twos, or whatever we're calling them now. It's been about two months now that I've noticed him maturing before my eyes. And it's been the most amazing thing to watch…
I tend to over-analyze his behaviors—let's be honest, I over-analyze everyone's behaviors. (My husband likes to call me "Dr. Phil" when I go into my psychobabble.) I don't read a lot of baby books or spend much time online reading about the different stages my son is going through (and I don't watch Dr. Phil). I just pay close attention to him and what he's telling me with his actions and reactions. He's been my best source of info on how to be a parent, and I honestly feel that I understand him on such a deep level that I don't need a book to tell me about my own kid (though this Parenting article I just stumbled across explains the different ages and stages very well). When he was going through the "terrible twos," a term I know is debatable but I'm using it anyway, I knew his tantrums were coming from a place of frustration. How did I know this? Because I know my son is normally a very happy, sweet, adaptable kid—these tantrums were not characteristic of the child I've known, and raised, and loved.
It's been incredible to watch this transformation happen—we're finally at a place where we can reason with him. When we say "no" to him, it no longer sends him into a tailspin. He sulks for all of 10 seconds, we distract him with something else, and he gets over it. Just like that. The best is when he fakes us out: He'll pretend he's getting really upset and do this pouty thing with his mouth, it's adorable, and we'll wait breathlessly for a tantrum to start—then he erupts into laughter. The kid is already punking us.
And remember the obsessive teeth brushing? Not an issue anymore. We stuck to our guns on not letting him use all of the toothbrushes in our house, and now he no longer bothers asking for them. And what's even better, he tells me when it's time to brush his teeth at night; I let him pick from about four different colored toothbrushes in his bathroom, and he proudly brushes his own teeth, with a big smile on his face—like, "Look, Mommy, I can do it myself!"
He doesn't need me to help him brush his teeth anymore. I'm actually not sure how I feel about that one.
Those six or seven months of the terrible whatevers have been the most trying months for us as parents so far—as a baby he was generally pretty easy, so we kind of had it coming. But more importantly it taught me how important patience is—parenting is all about patience. As hard as it was to remain calm during his fits, it's the only thing you can do to help the situation (not that we always remained calm).
Trying to reason with him during a tantrum with questions like, "Why would you hit Daddy like that?" or "Why did you throw your letters on the floor?" don't help get you any closer to a resolution. Trust me, I've tried. What does work? Spending a lot of quality time with him, regardless of what else is going on in my life; telling him how much I love him, ten thousand times a day; paying attention to him, and having infinite patience. It's so logical: Isn't that what we all want? To feel important, understood, appreciated and loved?
We all make mistakes as parents and lose our cool at times (um, a lot of times), but it's the things we do right that have the biggest impact. My 2.3-year-old likes showing me he can brush his own teeth. He always tells me he loves me back. When we sing the A-B-Cs, he says, "Good job, Mommy!" And just like that, the tantrums become a blur...
(I realize I'll be referring back to this blog when the next age and stage sets in.)
How long did the terrible twos, or terrible whatevers, last for you? What methods have you found to be most effective for getting through the tantrums? Wine goes without saying...

Jonathan Marchessault [9], Brett Connolly [10], and Mike Angelidis [11] were the game's three stars. New Crunch forward Henri Ikonen [12] managed his first two AHL points on helpers to bookend the scoring for Syracuse. The 4 point night for Connolly points to him potentially providing some depth options to Tampa Bay in the playoffs as well. As I said after last night's win, this team is figuring out some of its chemistry for next season, and guys like Gourde and Marchessault finding their grooves bodes well for a bounce back next year. The team is back to .500 with 4 games left in the regular season, and if they can finish with a winning record that will be a major accomplishment considering this franchise supplied 9 prospects who became full time NHLers in Tampa Bay this season.

This is when a woman proceeds to perform oral sex on a man. The man then ejaculates on the woman (the part of the woman to be ejaculated on is up to the man getting the BJ). After the man cums he then proceeds to spread open the woman's meat curtains and gives her a round of applause by gently smacking her vagina. Screaming ENCORE is optional.

Heart Attack and Stroke Risk Screening
Topic Content
Heart Attack and Stroke Risk Screening
Topic Overview
Your doctor may talk with you about your risk for heart and blood flow problems, including heart attack and stroke. You and your doctor can use your risk to decide whether you need to lower it and what treatment is best for you.
What might you be at risk for?
Your doctor is checking your risk of having a problem called atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. It is the starting point for most heart and blood flow problems. These include heart disease and peripheral arterial disease.
Your doctor might talk to you about your risk of having a heart attack or a stroke in the next 10 years.
How does your doctor check your risk?
Your doctor looks at things that put you at risk for a heart attack and stroke. Your doctor might check:
- Your cholesterol levels.
- Your blood pressure.
- If you have diabetes.
- Your age, sex, and race.
- If you smoke.
- If you have a family history of early heart disease. Early heart disease means you have a male family member who was diagnosed before age 55 or a female family member who was diagnosed before age 65.
- Results of tests such as C-reactive protein, coronary calcium scan, or ankle-brachial index.
Calculators. Your doctor might use a tool to calculate a risk score for you. There are different tools that doctors use. These tools are not perfect. They may show that your risk is higher or lower than it really is. But these tools give you and your doctor a good idea about your risk.
What do you do with your risk?
Knowing your risk is just the starting point for you and your doctor. Knowing your risk can help you and your doctor talk about whether you need to lower your risk. Together, you can decide what treatment is best for you.

NRA Responds To Obama Executive Orders
WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the National Rifle Association says his organization has no problem with tighter background checks of gun purchasers. But NRA president David Keene tells "CBS This Morning" that too much emphasis is being placed on banning certain firearms, in response to last month's elementary school massacre in Connecticut. Keene says more attention should be paid to making schools safer and fixing the country's mental health system.

North Coast and Cascades Network
The North Coast and Cascades Vital Signs Network (NCCN) includes six national park units in Oregon and Washington: Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve (NHR), Fort Clatsop National Memorial Park (NMP), Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (NHS), Mount Rainier National Park (NP), North Cascades NP, Olympic NP, and San Juan Island National Historic Park (NHP). Mount Rainier (NP), North Cascades NP, and Olympic NP are Class I air quality areas, receiving the highest protection under the Clean Air Act. The other park units are Class II air quality areas.
The Network map below provides information on air quality monitoring. Ozone, sulfur dioxide, dry deposition, and meteorology are collected by the Clean Air Status and Trends (CASTNet) and Gaseous Pollutant Monitoring (GPMN) networks. Ozone is also monitored with passive samplers and portable continuous analyzers. Wet Deposition is monitored through cooperation with National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN). The Mercury Deposition Network (MDN), part of NADP, collects precipitation samples that are analyzed for mercury. Visibility is monitored as part of the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE). Additional details on these parameters are described in Air Quality Monitoring.
Air quality monitoring in or near the network is indicated on the map by symbols, with the blue line showing the approximate borders of the network. The legend shows the symbols for the type of monitoring present, with NPS park units in green. Class I areas have linkable access to ARIS information.

Bryant takes second, consistent in win
BRYANT — The Bryant Lady Hornets' inconsistency has subsided for the time being according to Coach Beth Solomon and it showed as Bryant defeated 7A Central conference foe North Little Rock 3-1 (22-25, 25-21, 25-18, 25-19) on Thursday night in Bryant.
Even though both the Lady Hornets and Lady Charging Wildcats have a 5-2 conference record, Bryant holds the tie-breaker between the two teams, giving them second place behind Conway.
"Since we beat North Little Rock, technically we're in second place," Solomon said. "I don't remember Bryant volleyball doing that (being second place in conference) and I've been here for seven years. That's a big accomplishment going into second round.
"Big win. We needed it [Thursday night]. After Van Buren, we knew this was going to be our big game. The Conway, Van Buren, North Little Rock stretch is always our hardest stretch."
The Lady Hornets (6-3, 5-2) went 2-1 during that stretch, coming back from an 0-2 hole to defeat Van Buren on Tuesday, and losing to Conway last week.
Bryant was in the first game the whole way and the score was tied 19-19 before North Little Rock scored six of the next nine points with the help of the Lady Hornets' unforced errors. Bryant served it out twice in the last nine points and four times for the game in losing a close one, 22-25.
The Lady Hornets were up 16-10 in game two before they let the Lady Charging Wildcats ((7-3, 5-2) score six of the next eight points to get within 18-16, but North Little Rock made unforced errors of their own to allow Bryant to win 25-21, capped by junior McKenzie Rice's kill.
"They outplayed us," North Little Rock Coach Cheryl Bing said. "They just wanted it more than we did. A few times, we didn't pass the ball or hit the ball like we were supposed to and you're going to get beat when you play tentative and you don't pass or hit."
Up 20-18 in the third game, the Lady Hornets scored five straight for the win, including two kills from Rice, a kill each from senior Taylor West and junior Brooke Howell, and an ace from Howell to end the game.
"You're going to get beat against good teams [when unforced errors are made]," Bing said. "You can't have the hitting errors and missed serves – we missed more serves than we normally do. That's one of the things that are going to get you beat."
"The girls stepped it up tonight," Solomon said. "We knew they were going to hit at us. Our passers were ready tonight. Lauren Reed had a great game; she's had a great week."
Reed, a senior, led the Lady Hornets with 16 digs in the match. She was also a perfect 8 for 8 on her passes and was 24 for 28 in serve receives in play.
"Our hits were on," Solomon said. "That was a big part of it too. The girls played smart. They found the holes and put the ball there. They found their girls that were off and went right to them."
Howell led the Lady Hornets with five kills in the fourth game and had 14 for the match. She had two in a row to give Bryant an 8-5 lead and had one kill and two consecutive aces during the Lady Hornets 8-0 to end the final game. Howell also had four aces to lead the team and added 12 digs.
"Brooke has been one of our solid hitters," Solomon said. "She started the season as our most solid hitter and kind of went through a little lull there.
"She's finally coming out of it. Were excited to have that back. She's starting to play smarter, she's placing the ball, finding the holes – things we've got to have on the court."
Bryant was down 13-15 in the fourth game, but went on a 13-3 run to close the match out.
"I'm proud of them," Solomon said. "This gives us a good burst going into second round. The big thing is, the girls are playing for each other right now.
"The inconsistency is finally starting to wear off. It's finally clicking. We're excited. We're hoping we're only going up from here on out."
Rice had 18 kills to lead the team and added 13 digs, and her twin sister, Hannah Rice, had 40 of the Lady Hornets 44 assists in the match.
The Lady Hornets' junior varsity team won the first game of their match 25-22, but lost the next two by close margins 24-26 and 14-16 to lose 2-1 to the North Little Rock JV team. Bryant sophomore Caylin Choate led the team with 22 digs, junior Courtney Davidson had eight kills and junior Carley Choate had seven assists and four aces to lead the Lady Hornets' JV.

Is it permissible for a Muslim to buy halaal meat from a place where haraam meat is also sold, if the meat (both kinds) is prepared separately and stored in separate refrigerators? Is it permissible to buy halaal foods from large stores which also sell alcohol in a separate section of the store and the owner of the store is not Muslim?
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression' [al-Maa'idah 5:2]
So it is not permissible for a Muslim to help anyone in doing anything that involves sin and transgression and violating the limits set by Allaah. So if a Muslim is in a position where he has the choice and it is easy for him to find someone who sells only halaal foods and keeps away from haraam things such as pork etc., then he should deal with that person and not with the one who sells both halaal and haraam such as pork, alcohol and so on. But if that is not possible, then it is permissible for the Muslim to buy halaal meat and permissible foods from him so long as the distinction between what is halaal and what is haraam is clear, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can " [al-Taghaabun 64:16]
And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.

By Jeremiah Washington
Big 12 Campus Correspondent
The life of a student-athlete can be exhausting yet exhilarating, with the combination of the balancing and juggling acts of practice, games, school work and personal life that can make any circus tightrope walker or a juggler juggling three hoops blindfolded cease in comparison.
Texas Tech freshman Jordan Tolbert will admit the transition from high school to college is "hard", but the 6-7 forward is handling it with ease.
"It's not that hard, I kind of have gotten used to it," said Tolbert. "We have tutors to help us with any class we need help with. We just really do not get that much sleep."
The lack of sleep may be why Tolbert opts over a crazy pre-game ritual and instead chooses to take a nap before every game on game day.
"I take a nap before every game," says Tolbert.
Tolbert hails from Fort Worth, Texas where he played high school basketball at All Saints Episcopal, earning all-city, all-district, and all-area honors as a senior.
While Tolbert may be a pro at juggling many different demands as a student athlete, he will also admit the transition from high school basketball to college basketball has been the hardest he has ever encountered.
"It's hard," said Tolbert. "When I first got here in the off season we were running five miles at five in the morning and were lifting weights at six in the morning. It was way harder than I have ever worked."
The pregame naps and tough practices have seemed to work like magic for Tolbert, as he has become an early force for the Red Raiders. Tolbert has five 20-point games thus far, leading the Red Raiders in scoring, including two 27 point games, his highest of the season against Cal State Bakersfield and future Big 12 competitor TCU.
The TCU game in early December has been Tolbert's favorite game this season as he got to travel back to his hometown and was welcomed with a section of family and friends cheering for the Red Raider.
"It felt good to be home," says Tolbert.
Despite the early success and spotlight Tolbert has received in his first season with the Red Raiders, the young athlete insists he is just like any other college student and at times can be a bit shy.
"I am down to earth," says Tolbert. "I'm real quiet. It may not seem like it but I really am to myself."
On the court, one would never guess there is a shy side to this monstrous player, who has electrified the crowd with his haring rising, leaping dunks, which also excites him as well.
"It excites me when I get a dunk," says Tolbert. "It gives the team momentum. When we are down it gives us momentum and picks us back up."
Big 12 conference play will be another thing that will ignite Tolbert on the court, which is slated to tip off in January. Tolbert is eager and ready for the competition of the fellow conference teams.
"The competition is going to be way more competitive," he said. "Better players. Better teams. It's going to be a bigger crowd. It's going to be tough."
Tolbert feels the pressure surrounding him as conference play approaches and is preparing himself to be the best player he can be.
"I feel pressure," said Tolbert. "But I have a good coach and I have good teammates. I am going to try to play as good as I can, hard as I can, and be the best teammate. This season I want to shock some people and beat some teams people think we wouldn't beat."
Tolbert plans to prepare himself after the work ethic of the biggest inspiration in his life, which happens to be his mother.
"She really motivates me," he said. "She's worked the hardest. Anything I want she will just work to get it done no matter what. I always know that she has my back so I just try to go out there and work like she does."
As the Red Raider basketball season progresses, Tolbert looks forward to add many more wins to the Red Raider tally.
"My favorite moment is every win - every win we get," said Tolbert. "I look forward to getting more wins."

The third Filmation Tarzan episode is titled "Tarzan and the Golden Lion."
You may recognize that name if you are a fan of the Edgar Rice Burroughs' books. Tarzan, in that story, befriends a golden cub, and raises it to adulthood. The lion then becomes something like a family pet, always loyal to Tarzan and his son and wife. The character of the "golden lion" recurs throughout the book series, following his first appearance in the ninth book. In the stories, he is known as Jad-bal-ja.
The Filmation episode that shares the book's name is basically a two-part show.
The first part of the episode features N'Kima and Tarzan encountering the cub, and raising it to adulthood as a trusted friend. We see Tarzan teaching the lion in a kind of training montage. Apparently, years pass as it grows to maturity.
The second portion of the episode involves a group of gorilla-men who have taken N'Kima's monkey friends as slaves. Tarzan follows them to their kingdom to free them, and finds that these ape men are also enslaving a race of meek humanoids. These (speaking...) apes are known as the Bolmangani.
Tarzan teaches the primitives to fight, and that they are "slaves" to their fears. When Tarzan is captured, one of the humanoid children leads a campaign against the ape-men, and the golden lion also arrives with reinforcements from the jungle.
I have to confess, I really loved this episode, especially the portion about the golden cub, Jad-bal-ja, at the beginning. The mother lion has died, and Tarzan notes that "Death is no stranger to the jungle." He then shows mercy and compassion for the lion, and there are lovely shots of him playing with the cub, training, it and, more importantly, living with the lion, and treating him as a friend.
The second part of the episode is as dogmatically moralistic as any Filmation show you can think of, with Tarzan lecturing the primitives about standing up for themselves.
It's a good message ("sometimes we must face our fears to do what is necessary,") and the end is exciting, with the golden cub showing up with a stampede to stop the ape men.
